Nplate and Promacta
Hi Margarete,
You know when you live in Wien (as you do) or Stockholm (as I do) FDA has nothing to do with our drugs. Both Nplate and Promacta (Revolade in EU) are approved in EU for Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura.
If your doctor will prescribe Nplate or Promacta off record he/she can do that. In Sweden (with very high taxes) we never pay more than 180 US§/year for drugs (the Neupogen injections that I take twice a week costs 100 US§/injection). I don't know anything about costs for drugs in Austria.
Then there are trials for MDS patients with both Nplate and Promacta. If you look at clin trials gov you can see if there are any centers in Austria that participate in these studies.
Kind regards
Birgitta-A
